Clip-On Man Buns Are Having A Moment (Yes, Really)

There's even a special deal on offer.

The man bun, otherwise known as a hipster hairdo, is taking over as there’s now clip-on versions available.

Brought to our attention by the good folk over at Mashable, Groupon has introduced a deal where you can purchase a man bun for $9.99.

They come in three different colours and while the man bun isn’t a new trend, this idea means that everyone can access it.

The description accompanying the man bun is pretty brilliant too, reading: “One of the hottest trends in men’s fashion, the man bun has been popularized by fixed-gear bicyclists and introspective Hollywood actors alike.

“But although the hairstyle oozes with fashion sense, those who sport it might find themselves outcasts in sports bars, motorcycle gangs, and the annual government-mandated machismo test.

“This attachable—and, equally important, detachable—man bun lets you blend in with your surroundings, putting it on when you smell fair-trade coffee or hear a banjo, and taking it off when someone utters the word bro”.

Oh and if this isn’t enough to convince people that man buns are the way forward, Groupon also points out that you’re getting a discount of eighty-five per cent because the man bun is usually valued at $65.
